Abstract: A petroleum processing method comprising the steps
of: performing an atmospheric distillation of crude oil;
collectively hydrodesulfurizing the resultant
distillates consisting of gas oil and fractions whose
boiling point is lower than that of gas oil in a reactor
in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst at 310 to
370°C under 30 to 70 kg/cm 2 G (first hydrogenation step);
and further performing hydrodesulfurization at lower
temperatures (second hydrogenation step). When the
second hydrogenation step is carried out only for the
heavy naphtha obtained by separating the distillates
after the first hydrogenation step, the second
hydrogenation temperature can be in the range of 250 to
400°C. The hydrodesulfurization having been performed
for each of gas oil, kerosene, heavy naphtha and light
naphtha in the art can be collectively and efficiently
carried out, so that the oil refinery plant can be
simplified and so that the cost of oil refinery
equipment and running cost can be reduced. The
petroleum processing method and apparatus of the present
invention are especially useful when the amount of crude
oil to be processed is small.

Abstract: An improved hydraulically operated force limiting
arrangement for a vehicle safety restraint seat belt,
comprises a fluid (2) contained in a vessel, such as a cylinder (1),
and movable from one part to another through a valved
constriction (8), for example by means of a spring loaded piston (3)
or a rotary drive. The valve (8) has a tapering profile to
decrease the open area at the constriction as a function of
the deceleration of the vehicle in a crash. Preferably the
function is such that the area is decreased by a factor of
the speed of movement of the occupant
to the power n where n is between 1 and 2, so as
to absorb a higher proportion of the load for higher speeds.
A narrow bypass tube (15) may also be incorporated into the
arrangement. 
     This arrangement is an improvement on known systems
because the force limitation is more appropriately taylored
to the weight of the vehicle occupant and to the severity of
the crash.

Abstract: The function of a two-way end-of-train (EOT) system is
coordinated with the operation of the brake equipment on a
locomotive of a train according to the steps of a novel method.
This method enables the brakes to be applied during an emergency
in a way which minimizes the buff and draft forces produced
within the train. The method includes the steps of: (1)
monitoring the train for signs of an emergency by using the brake
equipment of the locomotive; (2) determining, if an emergency has
occurred, whether the emergency is due to disjoining of the
train; (3) waiting a preset time period, if the emergency was
caused by disjoining of the train, before causing the brake
equipment of the locomotive, to command the two-way EOT system to
initiate an emergency application of the brakes from a rear part
of the train; and (4) waiting an alternative time period, if the
emergency was caused other than by disjoining of the train,
before causing the brake equipment of the locomotive to command
the two-way EOT system to initiate the emergency application of
the brakes from the rear part of the train.
